For Tuesday, read pp. 1-37 in J. D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. Pay particular attention to his word choice, and identify any words that you think stand out because they're very descriptive, make a strong impression, or help communicate a particular idea especially well. In addition, in class, we will read and work on the Preface and Introduction to They Say / I Say.
For Wednesday and Thursday, read pp. 39-80 in Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. Again, pay attention to his word choice and, as we discussed in class (from They Say / I Say), consider the conversation he is participating in.
